A Brazilian Butt Lift can transform your buttocks to create a sexy, curvy, hourglass shape that will enhance your curves and make you feel confident in any type of bathing suit on the beach. A BBL is ideal for women who have trouble sculpting their behind through diet and exercise alone. The procedure can also help a patient achieve a balance between their upper and lower body, reduce unwanted pockets of fat in other areas, and reshape the appearance of smooth dips or cellulite on the buttocks.
A BBL uses a patient’s own adipose tissue to reshape the buttocks. The procedure begins with liposculpture to harvest adipose tissue from select trouble zones, such as the hips, abdomen, or thighs. This technique uses a non-traumatic, closed in-line cannula to ensure that the cannula doesn’t pierce or otherwise disrupt blood vessels and nerves in the buttocks. The extracted adipose tissue is then purified and rinsed to remove any contaminants prior to injection into the buttocks. This helps to preserve the health and longevity of the injected fat.
After a BBL, patients will be monitored by a nurse or other healthcare professional for several hours. It’s important for the patient to have a friend or family member drive them home, as they may not be able to operate a vehicle. It’s also a good idea for patients to take prescription pain medication or over-the-counter acetaminophen.
As with any surgical procedure, a Brazilian Butt Lift can be associated with risks and complications, including asymmetry, fat embolism, infection, and bleeding. However, these risks are greatly reduced when the procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. bbl
